Those ones they sell on ebay are GREAT! +30mpg and +100hp all for $29.99!



Performance chips are a waste of money. End of story.

NO for Tiburon-Power Ebay chips are GREAT!!!!



This chip will help you beat that 10000lb diesel truck, Geo Metro, V6 Mustang, and even the RSX!!!!

I don't know about the I4 but reflashes are available for the V6.

Theres no such thing as a performance chip for any Hyundai ecu. Even the programmers dont do anything. What you want is a reflash....not a chip. However like [member='chinoyboi14'] said, its only available for the V6 and it involves sending your ECU out to be done, which means unless you have an extra one...your car wont be driveable until you get the ecu back.

i believe that is untrue-... kdmstuff and next gen motorsports both offered 2.0 siemens 16-bit reflashes both are pricey and from what i understand they're problematic.



i do know quite a few guys w/ gk's had been using a apex'i neo-... but i'd suggest going onto newtiburon.com and looking into that.
